    OIC isn't that big a deal anyway. Haven't seen anything it's really accomplished. Even Muslim on Muslim strife within OIC is large, just look at what Iran did in Syria for example to ensure Assad prevailed. What was the death toll there....so sad. Yemen is another one ongoing now. Then in...

    If its really the case with Bangladesh, there would be nowhere near the amount of BD tourists that come to India each year (more than 2.5 million per year before covid pandemic).... and growing long term the way that it is doing by leaps and bounds. It can be compared to any other country you...

    Yup, clean sheet start is best for Turkish turbofan programs given the radial compressor here. Radial compressors have sweetspot reasons at this size, but their disadvantages grow considerably if you want to scale up the engine. Both the investment in cross sectional area (per compression...

    TR News Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant is granted Nuclear status

    Yah but it only becomes economical (reactor side) with heavy water as the moderator. Heavy water is a sweet spot area for neutron transparency (while still slowing them down enough for fission with the U-235 present), so you can essentially "flash" U-238 (regular bulk uranium) to turn into...

    TR News Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant is granted Nuclear status

    Since its an IAEA safeguarded reactor, back to Russia for reprocessing as is done with IAEA closed loop agreements till Turkiye has its own IAEA safeguarded reprocessing facility (which makes little sense at this early stage of just a few reactors to provide for it). Spent Uranium fuel (since...

    I'll continue (India specific) discussion on it in the other thread. My point is the larger difficulty for Turkiye here given they have their inflation rate, forex, fiscal room where they are currently by mismanagement here over a protracted period that will make things very difficult compared...

    It will come with time, you dont hire all those guys this early in the process and have them sit around. I don't think "billions of dollars" is really an issue compared to Turkiye. India has a market cap total of 3.2 trillion USD. Its venture capital is active....unicorn formation and all...

    One consortium is moving ahead (can be discussed further in that thread): https://defencehub.live/threads/indian-economy-infra-archive.532/page-39#post-262896 It will be interesting to see what a ~ 10 billion dollar incentive will bring in and grow in today's relatively ensconced setting...
